Awards!

I've received some awards these last few weeks and have been hoarding again. Shame on me. I even received some while I was away so that was very nice to come home to.I'll dispense with the flummery and get started right away.

I also received this beauty from Nicole. I thought it appropriate I pass this on to some "freshman" writers I know. (I really loathe the term 'newbie' so I'm going to refrain from using it and call them freshman instead.) And I'm calling them freshman because they have less than 50 followers.

I pulled one long gray hair out of my daughters head yesterday...she is 14! She is mortified. I searched, but that was the only one. I had no idea you could have a gray hair so young. I found my first one in my 30's. Sucks.

We JUST got home from vacation...I made them leave early. 3+ weeks was long enough...I wasn't making it to 4. I drove the entire 12 hours, with only one stop...to gas, pee and let the dogs out. I was on a mission. It's good to be home. I'm exhausted, and need to sleep, but I'm happy to be in my house.

Thank you for passing on an award to me, love. :)I'm grateful for you, my friend.Much love,Lola

I was 48 when my reading eyes started to blur - at the same time I was about to become a grandma!! Very traumatic. Tried to get my daughter to come up with something other than Granny Ann (but now I like the title). Emotionally I survived the spectre of encroaching age. And the little granddaughter was adorable.

Congrats on all the awards. You deserve them! I'll check out and support the "freshman" writers.

DL -- I too have glasses around the house. I'm going to get one of those "old lady chains" that hang around your neck to hold your glasses. I can never find the right pair at the right time.

Lola -- I'm so glad you're back. Here's a tip though, don't keep pulling grey's from your daughter, they come back two at a time and then multiply. I know what you mean about vacation. I was only gone for 4 days and it felt like a month. xoxoxoxox

Ann -- Well, that't the age I am now and I can't decide if I want to be older or younger. I have a 5 year old and most people already think I'm her grandmother. So hard.

Congratulations all around and a hearty round of applause. I wanted to stop by and say thank you. Your comment last night helped me more than you know. There's a mention for you on my blog later tonight.

I tried reading this the day you posted, and Blogger wouldn't let me! Glad I came back--you shared so much love! And thanks for thinking of me.

We have much in common! I'm also a Taurus, a Tiger, and Irish. :-D And I've been finding gray hairs for a while. I also find it quite humorous to point the gray hairs on my husband's chest out to him, but then I have to get out the tweezers, or he'll yank out all his chest hair until he gets it. Silly man...

About Me

Crazy hippie flower child mother of a twelve year old daughter having a mid-life crisis writing Regency romance novels, women's romantic fiction and taking a stab at detective/mystery thrillers. This is my writing blog where, if you dare to read, will find the incoherent babbling and sometimes blinding frustration of a woman who is longing to perfect the craft of penning a fabulous novel.
Hope you'll join me in the journey.
